Logan, Baker and Bewoning for the Whigs and Dougies, Cathoun, Lam- born and Thomas for the Democrats, having assiduously prepared for the trial, debated the burning iseue of the time. The effort of each filled an evening and Ldncoln's speech gave him new hope of himself. Wise mén sbegan to have great con- fidence in his future. He had taken the style of Webster for his mode). He no longer used the broad humor which had characterized his efforts. on the stump. A study of the best speeches of the great New Englander had made him question {ts value in a public address. Dignity, clear rea soning and impressiveneas were the chief aims of his new method. He was no heaven-born genius “sprung in full panoply from the head of Jove." He was just one of the slow, common folk, with a pas- sion for justice and human rights, slowly feeling his way upward. His spirit was growing. Strong in its love and knowledge of commen men and of the things necessary to their welfare, it was beginning to seek and know “the divine power of words.” Every moment of leisure he gave to the study of Webster and Burke and Byron and Shakespeare and Burns. He had begun to study tre art of Irving and Walter Scott and of 4 new writer of the namie of Dickens, ‘There were four men who Slept with him in the room above Speed's store, and one of them has told how he used to lie sprawied on the floor, with his pillow and candle, reading long after the others had gone to sleep. Samson writes that he never knew a man who understood the art of using min- utes as he did. A detached minute was to him a thing to be filled with value. Yet there were fow men so deeply in love with fun. He loved to laugh at a story telling and to match —a famous raconteur—and to play with children. Fun was as necessary to him as sleep. He searched for it in people and in books. But Lincoin was only one of many remarkable personalities in Spring- field’ who had discovered themselves and were secking to be discovered Sundry individuals were lifting their feads above the crowd but not with the modesty and seif-distrust of Honest Abe. “Steve” Doug!as, whom Samson had referred td as “that lit- tle rooster of a man,” put on the si of a brave and ponderous vigor.

They went, Lincoln (béing carefully dressed in tis first suit of Diack clothes, Miss Todd was a bright, vivacious girl of aniddle stature, twenty-two years old. She was fashionably dressed and carried her head proudly—e smart-looling, witty, well spoken girl, but not especially, handsome. She was most agreeable to the young men. Honest Abe was aceply impressed by her talk and fine manners and general comoliness. He felt her grace. and charm and spoke of it with enthusiasm. But to him and: to her there seemed to be an impassable gulf between them. She changed her mind about that, however, when she heart tim speak and felt the power of his person- ality and saw his fece lighted by the candle of his spirit. It was a hand- some face in those moments of len elation. Hardship and Poison had lined and sallowed his ekin. He used to say that every time the fever and ague walked over him, they left a track on his face. The ehadows of loneliness and gor- Tow were in its soulpturing. But when his eyes glowed with passion one saw not the rough mask which the life of the pioneer had given him. His form lost tts awkward- ess; this face took on a nobie and impressive beauty. Those times every eye looked longingly upon him because of tie great and wonderful things with which he was interfused. To quote his own words to the boy. Josiah Taylor, his character was speaking as well as his lips. Mary had the insight to recognize his Dower, She felt the strength of bix spirit, She agreed with her friends that Nere was a man of great prom ise. She felt the need of him.

The fact filled him with a great joy. ‘They went about together, In the Edwards Parlor he smodestly told her of his Work and his life pian.

Now a little before this time Henry Brimstead and other creditors of Pavis had gone to Chicago in: the matter of the satisfaction of their judgment against him. Henry had driven a wagon across the prairies and, return!ng, had brought Bim and her mother to his home and then to Springfield, It was while they were there that Henry had come down to Chicago out of the woods in a condi- tion of health which had alarmed his physician.
